Veronica Latsko laced up her boots last weekend fully intent on taking the field for a competitive game for the first time in seven months.
Latsko suffered an ACL injury in May that forced her to miss the majority of her second year with the club. The dynamic forward had just finished a record-breaking 2018-19 season in Australia, scoring nine goals for Adelaide United, and was poised to take on a more prominent role with the Dash during the FIFA Women’s World Cup. As the 2019 NWSL season got underway, the University of Virginia product was looking to build on her first season with the Dash, in which she tallied four goals and two assists in 21 appearances.
